This is the procedure they use to lift back up parts of your cement sidewalk, patio or porch that has slowly sunken into the soil over the years.

During this mud jacking operation, they force a heavy, mud-like compound under the portion of your slab that needs lifting.

That substance expands, hardens and shoves the slab up. Pretty cool.

Cement slab lifting is a pretty inexpensive and simple method to mend your sloping terrace or walkway.

How Do These Circumstances Come About?

Well, it’s simply the natural science of soil.

The ground under your house adjusts and changes. It swells and contracts depending on contact with water and temperature. This expansion and contraction of the earth adds substantial stress on even a well-constructed home.

Some Ohio property owners develop a situation in one of these areas; others will not.

One of the major factors behind house foundation complications is how much water is around and beneath the home.

A house that’s built on a professionally graded lot, where rain water is encouraged to roll away from the house, and a house which has a sound rain gutter system is in a stronger position to handle these circumstances than a house which does not have positive lot grading or appropriate gutters.

One prime factor that a property owner can not impact is the natural physical characteristics of the soil their house is located on.

The makeup of soil in different sections of the country may differ significantly.

Some soil varieties will be more absorbent than others.

The more absorbent the soil, the more moisture it holds and the more it will swell up when it gets exposed to water.

Large expansion is not good at all.

Fortunately, much of Cuyahoga County soil is not that absorbent.

Another unusual predictor of property issues is having a major tree growing way too near to your home.

This can lead to issues if the roots grow underneath the home and put stress on water and sewer lines and your concrete slab.

These are forms of natural environmental forces which can bring about slight cracks in your home’s foundation.

And then all these small cracks allow in moisture, and those small cracks get wider each year.

Our Best Advice is Don’t Wait Too Long

When you have concerns with your property, you should get it inspected pretty soon and repaired if it is called for.

The assessment, at a minimum, is not something you should postpone.

Cracks and other disorders of your concrete are not going to improve with time.

It is almost always advisable to have the situation repaired as soon as you can.

Your entire house rests on the basement structure, it deserves to be cared for.

Once rain water gets into a basement, it will prompt problems like humidity and mold. Plus, the volume of outside water coming in will generally climb every year.

And if you’re thinking about selling your home, just remember that nobody wants to buy a property which has a structural trouble or shows tell-tale indications of moisture seepage in the basement.

Being a home seller, you have to reveal to the buyer any considerable problems with your property or you could get into civil trouble later on.

If you are anxious about your situation, it is best to at least determine what your situation is.

Some scenarios might appear to the house owner to seem almost very hard to solve.

But a knowledgable contractor can frequently get them fixed.
